Nkhulu boys launched an attack on the Sand River pride and killed one of the cubs

Lokender Charan on fb:

"This morning, five of the Nkhulu coalition, thirsty for power and dominance, ventured into the territory of the Sand River Pride. They managed to catch one of the cubs, resulting in a tragic loss, while the rest of the pride narrowly escaped. It's worth noting that this cub was within their grasp. A few weeks ago, it is believed there was another altercation with the two Southern Avoca male lions, who are the dominant males of this pride. In the aftermath, one of the Southern Avoca males was spotted injured, and the fate of the other remains uncertain, suggesting that he might have also succumbed during that fierce battle. Very sad to watch that, but also it's real and natural, and it must be accepted as an essential part of the wild life".

Interesting, this is the first I have heard it mentioned that there was an altercation between the Nkhulus and the S Avocas, and an implication that it may have resulted in the injured S Avoca and cause of the missing one. Only altercation between the two groups I am aware of resulted in Dreadlocks being badly mauled, and I am not sure he has been seen since just a few days after that, and I am not sure the 6th Nkhulu has been seen since then as well..
